Bob Hawke famously smashed the beer-skolling world record during his student days at Oxford University.
And the former prime minister showed he’s still got it as he slammed down a lager on Friday to the roar of the crowd at the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney.
While the 88-year-olds latest effort may not have broken any records, a massive applause broke out around the ground as he downed the beer to a standing ovation.

The former Labor leader, who is fabled for his drinking abilities, was displayed on the big screen at the SCG as he raised his empty glass to the crowd in victory.
Mr Hawke also downed his beer during the Sydney test in 2012, and again in 2014 and 2017.
In 2012, he was famously handed a beer by a cricket fan and was filmed smashing it in front of a raucous crowd.
Mr Hawke previously held the world record downing a yard of ale, two and a half pints, in 11 seconds when studying at Oxford.
